In this essential episode, I clear up the confusing terminology around book formatting since one person says formatting, another says typesetting, and someone else calls it interior design, leaving authors unsure which service they actually need. I break down the five different names for what happens inside your book so you understand what each one means and can hire the right professional with confidence.
Book formatting is the practical foundation that makes your files work correctly on publishing platforms like Amazon KDP. Typesetting is the visual craft that makes your pages look polished and enjoyable to read. Book interior design is the holistic artistic approach that creates a cohesive reader experience, working best for more visual projects like art books or coffee table books. Page layout is the precise page-by-page execution of placing every element where it belongs. The book interior layout sits in the sweet spot combining design vision with mechanical execution, which is what I do for my clients.
The big takeaway is that each term carries a slightly different emphasis and signals a different level of service. When you know what each one means, you can make smarter hiring decisions and ensure you're getting the type and level of service your book truly deserves.
Keep writing, keep dreaming, and keep creating. Your book is waiting to be born!
